Finally, the special process and final finish, 24K Gold plating of 5 microns thickness on top of Rhodium plating is applied. As for the center pillar base, a special anti-vibration alloy which has the highest ability and the most superior to the absorbability for vibration and noise is adopted, so that the outline and imaging of sound will become much clearer.Īs for the upper base, the most strong and solid Titanium is precisely CNC machined from the block, then buffed and polished manually one by one. The internal frame construction is made of the upper base (A) and the center pillar base (B) that are independently constructed and precisely assembled, instead of the usual construction of a single integrated design. This newly developed cartridge will offer unbeatably superb sound reproduction ability of high and low frequencies with a precise and excellent balance. Our team has spent a couple of years developing the 9Gss which stands as our new flagship model on top of the Ikeda KAI. IKEDA Sound Labs is pleased to introduce our new flagship MC cartridge model 9Gss.
